Mounting screws: Pilot holes required. Installing delicate screws into hard wood requires great care and accuracy. We highly recommend the #1711 Depth-stop Drill Bit (No.50 bit) for the pilot hole before installing these screws. Lubricate the screw threads with cutting lubricant (also wax or a bar of soap) to reduce friction and help them thread properly.

nice looking

But I wanted 3 plus 3's, so I will give these away. My bad. Like once cutting a guitar head 2 inches short (how??), or once buying a pickup truck with no air-conditioner in it....thinking all new pickups have air conditioner?. These are nice looking tuners in the spare parts box.. I will remember them and remember to check my pickup truck buys better also.

SMOOTH, AND STAY PUT

First set i ordered was in 1996 for a tele rebuild -still have those tuners on a newer neck but theyare still smooth and you cant tell a difference in the action from the new ones i just ordered-they stay put

These tuners are great.

The first Ibanez I purchased in the late 80's had Gotoh tuners. Since then they've been by go to replacement tuners. I upgraded the tuners on a less expensive model Ibanez. Very smooth and they are keeping the guitar in tune with the vintage style trem I had the guitar converted to. (from hard tail). I've used Gotoh before and will use them again.

Gotohs are my go to!

Very satisfied!

I'm upgrading a MIC Fender Stratocaster. Just..because. I have several other Fenders and Gibsons. I originally bought this poor-man's Blackie to practice-relic, but it played so well I decided to fix it up. So I bought a 920D Seymour Duncan Everything Axe loaded pickguard, Fender vintage tremolo bridge, and these Gotoh tuners. This guitar does the most amazing things...and I am very pleased with these tuners. They dropped right in...no drilling/reaming required. They are smooth, precise, and have a very good finish. I think they're a very good value and a very good tuner.
